Okay. And yes, please check setting the handler. E.g. evaluate (setq org-show-notification-handler #'message) or add the line your init file. AFAICS the condition with the dbus stuff is ignored if the handler is set. In any case please report the outcome of your testing. Thanks, -- Marco
Re: "peculiar" error with countdown timer in org-agenda
Hi Marco, I will check. However I am on Windows 7-64 and to the best of my knowledge Dbus is not available for this platform. There were some efforts to make it work but I don't think they are current. In any case, as the error message said, this version of emacs isn't compiled with Dbus, which makes sense for a Windows version. I will try to create my own handler and figure out why dbus notification is being attempted on a version of Emacs compiled without it.

I checked this some and I think the problem lies in function org-show-notification. That function references and possibly uses function notifications-notify which depends on a proper setup of the dbus stuff. I guess this is the gist of the bug. You can place your own handler though. For this set variable org-show-notification-handler to e.g. function message Can you please try this out? About hunting the bug: possibly it would be good to add a check if the dbus system is up. Can this be done easily? Or add a further configuration item to indicate that the dbus system shall be used. Best, -- Marco
"peculiar" error with countdown timer in org-agenda
Remember to cover the basics, that is, what you expected to happen and
what in fact did happen. You don't know how to make a good report? See
https://orgmode.org/manual/Feedback.html#Feedback
Your bug report will be posted to the Org mailing list.
In Org-Agenda, I press ';' to start a countdown timer.
I enter 1 minute to test.
When timer reaches zero, I see this error in minibuffer
dbus-call-method: peculiar error: "Emacs not compiled with dbus support"
Also, timer display is not removed from mode-line as expected.
